| Description | “I think the Republican party returned to sanity tonight,” said Dick Wadhams, a former chairman of the Colorado GOP
Republican primary voters in Colorado had a choice Tuesday: Elevate a slate of candidates who believe the unfounded claim that President Donald Trump was the true winner of the 2020 election or pick candidates who want the GOP to move on.
For the most part, with some notable exceptions, voters selected the latter.
State Rep. Ron Hanks lost his bid for U.S. Senate. Former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez fell short in his second gubernatorial campaign. And indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters fared so poorly that she was slated to come in third in the Republican secretary of state’s primary to an Australian immigrant who lives in Yuma County and was making his first foray into politics.
Peters, who claimed Tuesday night without evidence that she was the victim of election fraud, was even set to lose in her home county. |
